Hey you should check out fail2ban as well. Excellent little app that analysis the log for the corresponding demon using a regex (u can create custom ones too) and performs an action you choose including iptables, hosts.deny, etc.. You can easily adjust setting like 3 failed connections max per min, etc..

Works well for sshd, postfix, httpd, etc..also fires you an email when a attack is stopped

Simple and very effective. Definitely worth checking out
